Since upgrading to Firefox 99.0.1 when I bookmark a web page into a specific folder, the URL does not appear when I open that folder. A restart of Firefox does not fix the issue.

But if I try to Bookmark the same page again, I am asked to edit it. So it must be in the folder but it is not visible! Help!

SSL_ERROR_BAD_MAC_ALERT occurs on a website that has worked fine in the past & rarely works now.

I have Firefox 99.0.1 (64-Bit) now & have not had a problem in the past accessing https://customer.xfinity.com/#/services/internet#usage.

Now, it partially loads & often get the "SSL_ERROR_BAD_MAC_ALERT" error.

In looking it up, this error appears to be specific to Firefox.

It was an issue 3 years ago: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1256432].

For the past few years, Firefox has had more problems with websites that work fine in other browsers, even the EDGE browser. Even in the 3-year-old bug mention above, it works in other browsers, but in the Firefox browser fails.

Firefox needs to fix this bug. It should not be an issue for over 3 years, especially when it works fine in other browsers.

Running 98.02, Windows 10. Firefox keeps opening without all my tabs and other personalized information. Just a single tab or maybe 2 that have nothing to do with me. If I go to about:profiles, one of the profiles listed will (so far) have my lost information. When I recovered the first time, I quickly created a profile if the current, good configuration. However, now when the problem recurs and I go back to that profile I created, Firefox is once again a single tab of a URL I've never seen. I'm afraid I will lose everything!

BTW the first symptom was that when I clicked on a link in email (Outlook 2021), the link opened in a new Firefox window, not a new tab of the current window. This, despite telling Firefox not to do that in Settings and checking about:configuration to make sure it would not occur.

I need to constantly copy/paste in my job -- quickly, I do online support -- and the latest version seems to have disabled the right click copy/paste menu. It either doesn't do it at all, or it pastes only the last word. I have to paste single sentences out of other paragraphs, or copy URLs. What's up with the functionality not working? It is a serious problem. I've used firefox happily and almost exclusively for years, but if this continues, I'll have to go to another browser. Fix the problem so copy/paste using the right click menu works for any amount of text from any source.

Firefox tells me the Pinterest save button is installed but it is not visible to me. I have tried removing it and adding it again but it is still not visible. It seemed to disappear when Firefox did its renewal thing and I had to sort out all my favourites along the task bar again.

When downloading financial data to Moneydance software, the download correctly opens Moneydance and update data file correctly, but after v98 Firefox update a second identical .qfx file is downloaded to my desktop which I then have to securely delete as a redundant file on my PC.... This is new behavior, has always worked perfectly previously. Firefox settings under Files and Application header are as follows: Downloads: Save files to Desktop Applications: Actions are set to use Moneydance.exe for all OFX and QFX financial data

The extra file showing up on my desktop is new and unwanted. It seems to be unneeded as it can be deleted without any obvious effect and no loss of data in Moneydance

Hello, I am trying to download some txt files via firefox in an automatic fashion using the python webbrowser API. Firefox opens the txt files directly in the tab, which leads to all kind of unwanted behavior when trying to use the right click save option. Is it possible just to save the txt files? Looking at previous forum entries, I tried changing the Content-Disposition and Content-Type via plugin, but they did not seem to affect the link given. Thanks

Mozilla clearly lost it with their unique identifier, anyways i got a question on this topic.

If i download Firefox here https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release there will be a unique identifier, but if download it here https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ There won't be such an identifier.

So, which is the better option since i know little about mozilla.org not sure if it's secure. Also when i download from the first link, what will the unique identifier track exactly since i open my browser and paste the URL for download, i don't come to the downloadsite from any other site or search result, i directly go there, so what will happen with the identification in that case? I know i had a similar thread before, but question is still open.

Until the last FF release (99), when I downloaded files from my bank for MSMoney FF would apply the action to use the MS Money import handler. Not anymore. FF will now only save the file. Even if I choose "always ask" it still just saves the file - never asks what to do with it (save or open with). Please fix this. It's worked fine for decades and now doesn't work at all. I tried adding images to show what happens but the ones that show what FF is doing and the FF settings won't upload. Only the banking download page images will upload. They just show that I pick MSMoney as the download format.
